The Lotus F1 team has announced its 2012 F1 car to be named as
E20 to commemorate the 20th F1 chassis designed at the team's base in
Enstone.
Enstone has been the outfit's base since 1992 under Benetton, Renault and now Lotus will unveil the new car on February 5 on its website.
It had been referred as the R32 (at least in Tweets from driver Romain Grosjean)
The new E20 will be driven by Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean.
"Our naming of the chassis to recognise Enstone's importance to the
team's evolution highlights our recognition of the contribution of the
facility and the personnel who work tirelessly every year to produce the
very best car possible," said team boss Eric Boullier.
"We certainly hope that this is the case with the E20 and we are
looking forward to revealing the car to the world and seeing it out on
track for the first time.
"There are a number of technical changes from last year and we have
an exciting new driver line-up to extract the maximum from the E20
through the twenty Grands Prix of the 2012 season, including the 500th
race for this team through its different incarnations. We hope that the
E20 proves to be a performing Enstone design."
